Attempting a makeshift variable = eventId?

[slimey]

Hey all. I'm doing an event-based battle system and self-variables would be a life saver.

I'm trying to something like Variable ID = @event_id (In Event, making "Control Variable... #002" equal script "$gameMap.events[this._eventId]"). Image example below.

I finally got it to run, but it's making said variable (in this case event id is 5) become 0.

Not sure if a self-variable type script is needed or if I could event this. Any help/insight would be much appreciated.

By the way, saw the variable become 0 as I am using OrangeHud by Hudell that demonstrates variable as a HUD.

1) you aren't checking for an event-ID, you're checking for the event itself - that is all data you see in all pages of an event combined and not the simple ID-Number.


You need to rewrite the script call to check for the event-ID instead.

Another workaround other than Andar's

Use

this._eventId instead of $gameMap.events[this.eventId]

Assuming you want to check wether this event ID equals your variable, use

this._eventId == $gameVariables.value(your id)

On the conditional command

Well, I thought $gameVariables was an array so it's member could be called by a [ ] but actually, it could not.

Sorry Andar, I should have said I'm working with RMMV. Not sure any ruby-based code could really help, since some things are different (such as the class is $gameVariables in RMMV instead of how it was in RMVXAce). Also the purpose for this script-calling is so I could copy and paste events rather than make/modify every single one. Looking like I'll make over 200 enemies and currently it's taking ~4 mins to edit each one. Also trying to learn the hard way and script calls more.

Thanks Heartbreak61. "Variable = this._eventId" seems to work.

I couldn't however get the variable conditional to work. Scratch that. It's looking like I got what I came for but I'll event some more to see if there's anything lacking. Thanks guys.

Was able to do what I set out to do with "$gameVariables.value(this._eventId)" (variable chosen is the same number as the event ID) and "var NUM = $gameVariables.value(this._eventId); $gameVariables.setValue(this._eventId, NUM-1)" (when I want to subtract from said variable). Thanks guys for your input.

Sorry about that. You may close the thread though as it's been solved.
